Thank you

Not complainin', I just want to say i'm a lil' upset for the fact you criticized the fact that i look faminine and part of you don't like when a man looks like a girl. Well i do, my face looks like a girl's and i can't help it, i love it.

i don't think they were criticizing you for looking feminine, they just didn't think it worked completely with what you were trying to do i.e. you should've shaved if you were going for that look. it wasn't the way you looked, it was the way you presented it.

I think everbody has its style, Tyra on Top Model don't criticize the fact that a model looks masculine, it's actually a fierce thing, and olso i think if i got hair like that or face like that it just makes me different not wrong.

Karasu: trust me i was also criticized for looking feminine so i know what you're going through =/ (end tyra moment) That being said I still think you're a great model, just try to change it up a little.

SweetTyra: BUT I would like to see you shot just a little bit more masculine in the future.

i'm pretty sure Karasu meant looking feminine in the wrong situation.

just as Leigh as said: "Im all for androgyny and you definitely have the looks to pull it off, but only if youre clean shaven haha."

you've got to read the whole critique, dude.

I red it, honey, then if it's all right why do i feel personally attacked?

AjSummers wrote:why do i feel personally attacked?

because like so many before you, you can't handle a bad critique? that would be my guess.

clearly, you didn't read it all since you skipped over the parts that let you know it's okay to be feminine, you just have to do it right.

Of course i didn't pick the parts they said looking feminine it's okay, 'cuz, i had to let you see where they DO criticized this, 'cuz they did come one.
I can handle any bad critique, if that critique has been made seriously. C'mon, i read things like "what hair is that? I don't like it"... as you expected me to be less boring and better for this photoshoot, i expected better critiques.

but do you see where you're wrong in telling them they said it's not okay to look feminine when they did say it was okay?

Can you read? I'm feeling stupid pasting and copying you everything. SOME OF THEM criticized and SOME OF THEM said it was good. I HAD TO LET YOU SEE WHERE t h e y c r i t i c i z e d ' c u z y o u s a i d t h e y d i d n ' t a t a l l . Better?

you still didn't post any specific tense where they said it was not okay to look feminine at all.

no need to get rude.

but from the first post i saw, i could tell the class you seemed to carry and the respect i had for it were about to plummet.
that's why i tried to reason with you.

sorry. =/

I'm done here, said what i think.

okay then.

Uh-ohhhh, we've got our first diva who can't take criticism!
It looks like they criticized your styling. If you have a certain look, you have to work it. That's true. But if your look is somewhat androgynous, you should either disguise it fully or play it up. It would be like me going to do makeup for a high fashion shoot and doing really really crazy makeup but leaving my hair wet and undone.
You need to learn that the judges all have different opinions and different critiques. They rarely, RARELY agree completely on stuff. So you can't get all worked up at something someone says and be convinced that the judges are against you. Just give 'em no reason to complain next week.

I look feminine, and i will 'till the end of this competition, even more week by week. The photoshoot required to be simple, my hair is simple like that, and my face is simple like that,looks like i don't have an avarage face i see 'cuz i didn't think they could judge the way my mama made me as well.

k, now you're just twisting what they said and being an asshole.

That's the thing - they're not personally judging you. At all. If you look feminine, then yes, that is your biology. However, you should pose and style yourself in certain ways that either compliment it, or hide it - middle ground can be conflicting.
For example, I have a really pointy chin. That's why in Cycle 2 my strongest pictures were face-on - when I posed to the side, my jaw looked really severe. Was I going to be like, "You can't criticize my jaw, I was born with it!?" Nope, posed differently.
You're taking this critique very personally, and I'm just trying to tell you that the judges aren't trying to upset you. They're trying to help you. If they weren't trying to help you improve, they'd just post the call-out orders and leave it at that.

well said, Bree. i know you're not a judge anymore, but recaps?
